In my response, I want to prove that they were for inmates, but I am wondering what the best evidence is for prisoners using the pool and theatre at Auschwitz?

During the week prisoners were employed at forced labour camps, but on their rest day they were allowed to play football on a field just outside the camp - with armed German guards watching from the sidelines.
Father-of-one Ron said: 'We didn’t work on a Sunday so we used to play football.'
The Red Cross heard about it and brought the teams four sets of shirts - English, Scottish, Irish and Welsh.

'When you’re under those conditions it was a real pleasure to play football on a Sunday,' he said.
'But we could only play in the summer, of course, because in the winter it was deep with snow.'

Ron said returning to the death camp stirred up strong memories.
'There was the humiliation and the lack of food but on the whole life wasn’t too bad.'
'The Germans, contrary to what a lot of people think, were pretty good to us on the whole.'
He said the soldiers were terrified.
'We did not know what would happen to us. We thought at one time they would stick us in the gas chamber,' said Ron.
'It was not just Jews going in, it was Polish, political prisoners, gypsies, homosexuals.'

More than 6 million people, most of them Jews, died in the Holocaust. The music they wrote as a temporary escape, however, did not, thanks in part to the efforts of an Italian composer and pianist.

The sign above the steel gates of Auschwitz reads "arbeit macht frei" – work sets you free. It was, of course, a chilling lie, an evil hoax. But there was one surprising source of temporary escape inside the gates: music. Composers and singers and musicians, both world-class and recreational, were among the imprisoned. And what's not widely known is that under the bleakest conditions imaginable, they performed and wrote music. Lots of it.
More than 6 million people, most of them Jews, died in the Holocaust, but their music did not, thanks in part to the extraordinary work of Francesco Lotoro. An Italian composer and pianist, Lotoro has spent 30 years recovering, performing, and in some cases, finishing pieces of work composed in captivity. Nearly 75 years after the camps were liberated, Francesco Lotoro is on a remarkable rescue mission, reviving music like this piece created by a young Jewish woman in a Nazi concentration camp in 1944.
....
It seems unlikely, even impossible, that music could have been performed and composed at a place like this site of unspeakable evil, the most horrific mass murder in human history.
This is Auschwitz-Birkenau. The Nazi concentration camp in southern Poland. Set up by the Germans in 1940 as part of Hitler's "Final Solution," it became the largest center in the world for the extermination of Jews.
...
But also in the air: the sound of music, the language of the gods. This piece, titled "Fantasy" was written for oboe and strings, composed by a prisoner in Poland in 1942.
At Auschwitz, as at other camps, there were inmate orchestras, set up by the Nazis to play marches and entertain. There was also unofficial music, crafted in secret, a way of preserving some dignity where little otherwise existed.
...
Anita Lasker-Wallfisch is one of the last surviving members of the women's orchestra at Auschwitz. She is now 94 years old. We met her at her home in London.
Jon Wertheim: What had you heard about the camp before you arrived?
Anita Lasker-Wallfisch: We heard everything that was going on there only we didn't – still tried not to believe it. But by the time I arrived there, in fact, I knew it was a reality, gas chambers and... yeah…
...
The conductor of the orchestra was virtuoso violinist alma rose, niece of the famous [Jewish] Viennese composer, Gustav Mahler. Anita Lasker-Wallfisch says Rose, a prisoner herself, had an iron discipline and tried to focus attention away from the profound misery of the camp.
...
The main function of the camp orchestras: playing marches for prisoners every day here at the main gate, a way, literally to set the tempo for a day of work. And a way to count the inmates.

The pool had been used to rehabilitate inmate patients and as recreation.
“When Felderer said to Piper:‘ Now this pool must have been used by SS men ’, Piper replied,‘ No, they were swimming elsewhere; this pool was used for rehabilitation and recreation of patients among inmates. ’"

In this 13 minute clip, Jim Rizoli, exposes another lie told by the Holocaust hate propagandists. This is the swimming pool at Auschwitz I. The swimming pool is normally ignored by the guides, as it refutes their narrative of a “death camp”. The Auschwitz complex consisted of three main camps, and a number of sub camps. The three main camps, consisted of the original camp (I), Birkenau (II) and Monowitz (III).
Jim shows a book from a Jewish prisoner who says she swam in the pool. Jim also shows responses which falsely claim that the swimming pool was a “water tank”, the diving boards were added later, and it was only for the SS troops and Aryan camp functionaries.
David Cole, a Jew, and Ernst Zundel, a Canadian, discuss the swimming pool, and conclude that is what is was and that as it was situated a distance from the SS barracks was available for all prisoners. Having a swimming pool in a “death” camp is a nonsense. For example, there was not one at Katyn Forest where the Soviet Secret Police (NKVD) executed 4,128 Polish officers by a bullet in the back of the head, within minutes of their arrival.
